Today I got back on the road. And it was…underwhelming. I did a lot of dashes, but many of them were low tip. I did get a $4 cash tip for no discernible reason – as the person had already tipped on the app. And I found four pennies in the drive through lane at Wendy’s. I guess someone doesn’t like pennies. Their loss, my gain! Only $0.96 to go before I reach a dollar saved from money found on the ground. Ok, maybe a lot less than that, since the other day I found two dimes on the ground. People are weird.
I did a second dash this evening. I was determined to dash later and hopefully make more money and catch up a bit for missing all of Monday. Today was not a banner day in terms of money making. That sucks. But I survived. And I didn’t take too many terrible trips. Well, ok, most of them were bad, but none were horrendous. I got to see a dasher I have spoken to quite a few times. And met a new to me dasher. I also realized that I really don’t like dashing after dark. So, no late night dashing for me, I guess.
I had decided at some point today that I would buy some Chinese food tonight. I have fried rice, egg rolls, spring rolls, and dumplings here at the house. So if I want appetizers with Chinese food, I’ve got them. But I didn’t have entree level food. After the lackluster, though inexpensive, saucy nuggs from the grocery store, I chose to get fresh cooked Chinese food. I asked Austin which beef dish was most purchased and he said Garlic Sauce beef. So that’s what I got. I also got the Indian pancakes with curry dipping sauce. Still as good as I remembered. Minus the potato this time. I have enough of tonight’s food purchase for at least three more meals. With sides and such, maybe enough for five more meals. Yippee? But it is all tasty, so it isn’t too onerous.
If I already mentioned this, please take it as a sign of Alzheimer’s – I made $5.05 in returns the other day. I think that at least $1 of that, if not more, was from picking up cans from my dashing and such.
Maybe I will branch out in flavors of chicken wings at home. I might try parmesan garlic. I’m not sure what else to try. Any suggestions are welcome. I just looked at one recipe and it only used garlic powder. I will definitely be adding some minced or pressed garlic to mine!
I also think at some point I will go back to Otis and Red’s pizza and see what their deals are around pizza and wings.
Who is going to make fried wontons with stuff inside them? I am! Definitely some crab rangoons. And maybe some other stuffed wontons – cheese maybe? Anything else?
Here’s a shocker. I found something I actually like about the icky ICE car that I have been saddled with: the sun visor slides so that it can cover more of the driver’s side window! I like that a lot. I hope Tesla will adapt that. Hahahahaha.
Ok, that’s it. I am all caught up. I did some Duolingo, I had dinner and now I have finished my blog post for the day. And such a pithy post. Er…
